John 4:5-30
The woman was on her way to get water, but she never realizes that her life would change that day, our God is a God that works in the middle of interruptions, he interrupted the woman on her work to offer her something better.
Many times, in life we feel unworthy, especially when it comes to serving God. We feel that we cannot do the work that He wants us to do, maybe because of our failures, our lack of preparation, or our situation in life. Many times, we romanticize how God will call us to a certain ministry or work, but God is looking for people who want to serve with a grateful heart. We see this in the Samaritan woman, she was someone that we would not consider worthy, because of her lifestyle, but Jesus shows her grace, and offers her salvation. In her gratefulness she goes into the town to preach to the men of the city to come and meet a man that has told her everything she has ever done. Her message was simple, and many came to meet Jesus. Maybe our message to others is like the one from the Samaritan woman, come and meet a man that has told me everything I have ever done.
Finally she would have never experience this blessing of being able to preach a simple message like hers so that many would come to meet Jesus, if her life was not interrupted by Jesus she would have missed this opportunity to be restored and to be of blessing, maybe we should stop seeing God’s interruptions as an inconvenience, but as an opportunity to serve God, and to be able to be a part of God’s purpose, and be grateful that we were found worthy by God for such a work and to come along him in his story.
In our prayer today let us thank God for his interruptions in our lives, and for us to have a grateful heart when he invites us to be part of the longer story in God’s kingdom.
